Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically to an indazole-pyrazole skeleton compound and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) belongs to the phosphodiesterase family and is responsible for the degradation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in vivo. It is the earliest discovered and most abundant protein in the phosphodiesterase family, working with nucleotide cyclases to regulate intracellular cAMP levels and playing a crucial role in cAMP signaling homeostasis. PDE4 contains four isoforms: A, B, C, and D. Isoform C is less commonly expressed in vivo, while isoforms A, B, and D are the most prevalent. Significant expression differences exist among isoforms in different tissues and organs, with isoforms B and D being the most studied. Different splicing variants of each isoform result in various splicing variants, which can be classified into long, short, ultra-short, and dead-short forms based on differences in upstream conserved regions (UCRs). Among them, the long PDE4 includes UCR1 and UCR2, the short type only includes UCR2, and the ultra-short type includes truncated UCR2. Each PDE4 subtype and splice variant may have its own unique function.

[0003] cAMP is a crucial signaling molecule that regulates important physiological and pathological processes such as inflammatory responses, fibrosis, bodily injury, and central nervous system function. It can influence the occurrence and development of inflammation, the formation of fibrosis, post-injury inflammation and repair processes, neurogenesis, the establishment of neuronal circuits, apoptosis, neuronal plasticity, sleep, sensorimotor gating, emotional stability, memory, and other cognitive functions. PDE4, as a key member regulating cAMP signaling, has received considerable attention in recent years for its application in the treatment of diseases related to inflammation, fibrosis, injury, and the central nervous system. Related diseases include inflammatory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, dermatitis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), psoriasis, rhinitis, Behçet's syndrome, arthritis, eczema, vitiligo, and ulcerative colitis; fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, liver fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis; injury-related diseases such as lung injury, liver injury, kidney injury, edema, and traumatic brain injury; and central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and cognitive improvement.

[0004] PDE4 participates in various physiological functions and is closely related to a variety of diseases by regulating cAMP levels in the body. The main pathways in which PDE4 is involved include the cAMP / PKA / CREB signaling pathway and the MAPK / ERK / CREB pathway. By inhibiting PDE4 activity, cAMP hydrolysis is blocked, and the cellular level increases, which in turn activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), activating the cAMP / PKA / CREB and / or MAPK / ERK / CREB signaling pathways. This, in turn, regulates the expression of multiple target genes, including BDNF, Bax, PEPCK, and IL-2, thereby participating in a variety of physiological and pathological processes related to inflammation, fibrosis, injury, memory, and learning.

[0005] Numerous clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that regulating PDE4 activity and cAMP levels through inhibitors can treat a variety of diseases. Several PDE4 inhibitors are currently on the market, including roflumilast, apremilast, and claborone. Due to gastrointestinal and central nervous system side effects of marketed drugs, PDE4 inhibitors remain a hot research topic. Improving the therapeutic index is the primary research goal, with key research directions including altering the route of administration, discovering highly active subtype-selective inhibitors, dual-target inhibitors, discovering inhibitors that have difficulty crossing the blood-brain barrier, and investigating indications.

[0006] The above studies indicate that PDE4 is a promising druggable target with great therapeutic potential in inflammatory diseases, fibrosis-related diseases, injury-related diseases, and central nervous system-related diseases. There is an urgent need to develop novel PDE4 inhibitors for the development of candidate drugs for these diseases. Summary of the Invention

Before use, reconstitute on ice for 5 min, then at room temperature for 3 min, slowly pipette to mix well, and slowly pipette 3 times before sampling.

[0144] (2) Buffer solution: an aqueous solution containing 61 mM Tris-HCl, 12 mM MgCl2, 61 mM KCl, 6.1 mM TCEP, 0.48 mM PEP, 0.012 mM NADH and 0.048 mM ATP, pH 8.0, prepared in 60 mL.

[0145] (3) Myokinase solution: Take the enzyme suspension stored at 2-8℃, let it stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, and slowly beat it to mix it evenly. Accurately measure 65μL of enzyme suspension, add 335μL of buffer to prepare a 335μL solution, and slowly blow it to mix it evenly (store on ice).

[0146] (4) Pyruvate kinase solution: Take 0.3 mg of enzyme solid powder stored at -80℃, dissolve it in 200 μL buffer, and slowly pipette to mix it evenly (store on ice).

[0147] (5) Lactate dehydrogenase solution: Take 0.9 mg of enzyme solid powder stored at -80℃, dissolve it in 200 μL buffer, and slowly blow it to mix it evenly (store on ice).

[0148] (6) PDE4B1 solution: Take the aliquoted solution stored at -80℃, reconstitute on ice for 5 min, reconstitute at room temperature for 5 min, and gently blow and mix before use.

[0149] (7) cAMP solution (0.032mM): Take an appropriate amount of cAMP and prepare 2 mL of 0.032mM solution with buffer.

[0152] (2) Add 10 μL of the corresponding concentration of compound solution in sequence, slowly blow and mix evenly. Replace the blank group (no compound) with an equal volume of DMSO and incubate at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.

[0153] (3) Add 25 μL of cAMP solution before the assay, blow it 3 times to mix it evenly, and replace the cAMP well with an equal volume of buffer.

[0154] (4) Excitation wavelength 355nM, emission wavelength 460nM, continuous measurement for 10 minutes, stop measurement after the plateau appears.

[0155] Data processing: Microsoft Excel 2010 spreadsheet software was used for data processing. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0156] Inhibition%=(Signal-Min) / (Max-Min)*100%

[0157] Signal: NADH fluorescence intensity in the inhibitor pore; Max: NADH fluorescence intensity in the cAMP-free pore; Min: NADH fluorescence intensity in the compound-free pore.

[0158] The results are shown in Table 1:

[0159] Table 1. Inhibitory activity of compounds against PDE4B

[0160]

[0161] Conclusion: Compound 1 exhibits 20 nM inhibitory activity against PDE4B1, which is 450 times that of the positive control drug cyclophosphamide and 10 times that of the self-developed positive control compound, demonstrating excellent in vitro enzyme activity.

[0162] Test Example 2: In vitro cellular level anti-inflammatory activity test of compounds

[0163] Specific testing method: The effect of PDE4B inhibitors on the production of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α was detected by ELISA. The cell density was adjusted to 2×10⁶ cells / year. 5 Cells were seeded at a rate of 100 μL / mL in 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 saturated humidity for 12 h until cell adhesion. The experiment consisted of a blank control group, an LPS control group, and an experimental group. Different concentrations of the test compound (10 μM, 25 μM, and 50 μM) were added to each well of the experimental group, and the plates were incubated for 1 h. Except for the blank control group, each group was incubated with LPS solution (200 ng / mL) for 24 h. The culture medium from each well was then transferred to centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was used to determine the level of TNF-α.

[0164] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, RAW 264.7 cells were induced with LPS, and the inflammatory factor TNF-α compound 1 inhibited the inflammatory response of cells in a dose-dependent manner at 1 μM, 2 μM, and 4 μM, demonstrating good anti-inflammatory activity.

[0165] Test Example 3: Results of Lung Tissue Sections in Acute Lung Injury Efficacy Test of Compound

[0166] Specific testing methods: First, an acute lung injury model in mice was established using LPS-induced induction. Mice were anesthetized (1.25% aphthylamine, 0.2 mL / kg, intraperitoneal injection), and the trachea was exposed. 60 μL of lipopolysaccharide solution was instilled into the trachea using a 1 mL syringe. After injection, the mice were upright and rotated 30 times, then left upright for 2-3 minutes. The neck was sutured, and the mice were placed in a suitable temperature environment until they recovered. They were then returned to their cages for continued rearing. The model was successfully established. Lung tissue was isolated, preserved in formalin solution, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and lung tissue sections were observed under a microscope. The results were reported.

[0167] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the model group showed more severe congestion compared to the control group, with a greater number of red blood cells. Most alveolar cavities were filled with pink fluid (edema fluid) and a small number of red blood cells, with a few gas vacuoles also visible. The positive control group and the low-dose compound 1 group showed significantly less congestion, fewer red blood cells that were concentrated only in certain areas, and narrow, elongated gas vacuoles. The high-dose compound 1 group showed less cellular congestion, fewer red blood cells, less obvious areas of red blood cell aggregation, and smaller gas vacuoles.

[0168] Test Example 4: Results of Pharmacodynamic Indicators in Acute Lung Injury Pharmacodynamic Test of Compounds

[0169] Specific testing methods: The establishment of the LPS-induced acute lung injury model in mice was the same as in test case 3. The collection method for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was as follows: Mice were euthanized after blood collection by enucleation, fixed on the operating table, and dissected. The right lung was ligated, and an endotracheal tube was inserted and fixed using an indwelling intravenous catheter. The left bronchus was then lavaged with 0.3 mL of PBS (1×) solution, repeated three times. The recovered bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was mixed, centrifuged at 4°C for 10 min, and the supernatant was stored at -80°C. The levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in BALF were measured using an ELISA kit. Mice were dissected, lung tissue was collected, homogenized, and the MPO and NO activities in the lung tissue were tested according to the kit instructions.

[0170] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, both low and high doses of compound 1 were superior to the positive control drug dexamethasone in inhibiting neutrophils and restoring MPO activity and NO levels. In inhibiting inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, the low dose of WPBL-II-06 was roughly equivalent to the positive control drug, while the high dose was better. Furthermore, the analysis showed that all indicators exhibited a clear dose-dependent effect. Therefore, there is reason to believe that compound 1 has significant potential in treating lung inflammation, particularly acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome.
